It was with great sadness that we learned of the sudden death of Shoucheng Zhang, who was external member of our institute and one of the leading condensed matter theorists of his generation.Wed, 12 Dec 2018 14:00:00 +0100http://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2965631/20181212?15446196002018-12-12T14:00:00+01:00High pressure orders electronshttp://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2964827/20181210
High-temperature superconductors can transport electrical energy without losses. However, a rigid charge order prevents superconductivity. In an international collaboration, researchers have studied the competing states with high-resolution inelastic X-ray scattering and found that high uniaxial pressure orders the electrons. Their study provides new insights into the function of electronically correlated materials.Mon, 10 Dec 2018 14:00:00 +0100http://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2964827/20181210?15444468002018-12-10T14:00:00+01:00Influential authors, Max Planck Press Releasehttp://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2961500/20181129

Warmest congratulations to Dr Hilary Noad, who has been awarded a Humboldt Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers.Mon, 26 Nov 2018 14:00:00 +0100http://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2961214/20181126?15432372002018-11-26T14:00:00+01:00Revealing the topological nature of the surface states in SmB6http://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2957002/20181109
The topological nature of the surface states in SmB6 is exposed by means of scanning tunneling spectroscopy on samples with magnetic substituents or by using magnetic tunneling tips. These local measurements are complemented by global transport measurements on identical samples.Fri, 09 Nov 2018 13:05:00 +0100http://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2957002/20181109?15417651002018-11-09T13:05:00+01:00Hanna Visiting Professorship for Andy Mackenziehttp://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2954142/20181105

On 19th Sept. 2018, there was a racially motivated assault on a foreign PhD student in a tram of DVB. In an open letter, the PhD representatives from six Dresden research institutes clearly position themselves against any violence and oppression towards other people on the basis of their origin or culture. Furthermore, they emphasize the importance of an open and diverse society, especially for Dresden as a research location.Thu, 11 Oct 2018 18:26:00 +0200http://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2945298/20181011?15392751602018-10-11T18:26:00+02:00A universal strategy to design superior water splitting electrocatalysts with in situ fast surface reconstructionhttp://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2928696/20180822
A universal strategy based on electrochemically induced fast reconstruction of amorphous nanofilm precursors is proposed for exploring ultrahigh mass activity and extremely stable bifunctional water splitting catalysts. The facile reconstruction strategy is promising for the development of novel efficient catalysts for other advanced energy conversion and storage devices.Fri, 05 Oct 2018 13:00:00 +0200http://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2928696/20180822?15387372002018-10-05T13:00:00+02:00Electrons go with the flowhttp://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2942054/20181004
Hydrodynamic electron flow can only be observed in high-purity quantum materials. An international team of members from the IBM Research Laboratory Zurich, the University of Hamburg and the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids has now found signatures of electron hydrodynamics in the semimetal tungsten diphosphide. The results were published in the journal Nature Communications.Fri, 05 Oct 2018 11:00:00 +0200http://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2942054/20181004?15387300002018-10-05T11:00:00+02:00Winner of the 2017 Pat Goldberg Memorial Best Paper Awardhttp://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2939974/20180924

The Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids welcomes the physicist Dr. Johannes Gooth, who will build and manage his Max Planck Research Group from the beginning of October.Fri, 31 Aug 2018 10:00:00 +0200http://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2931089/20180831?15357024002018-08-31T10:00:00+02:00GdPtBi, the drosophila for Weyl http://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2930669/20180830
Magneto-transport experiments of GdPtBi show anomalous Hall effect, chiral anomaly effect and non-zero Berry phase which establish the properties of Weyl physics. All these properties are independent of crystallographic directions. This study confirm that magnetism plays a major role in creating Weyl Fermions via exchange splitting of bands in GdPtBi.Thu, 30 Aug 2018 10:00:00 +0200http://www.cpfs.mpg.de/2930669/20180830?15356160002018-08-30T10:00:00+02:00From single-ion Kondo effect to Kondo lattice formation http://www.cpfs.mpg.de/en/single-ion-kondo
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy data on the archetypical heavy fermion metal YbRh2Si2 establish a hierarchy of energy scales, with the dominance of the lattice Kondo effect requiring temperatures well (about an order of magnitude) below the single-ion Kondo temperature of about 25 K. Only if the lattice Kondo correlations are sufficiently established, quantum critical fluctuations can evolve.Mon, 20 Aug 2018 11:00:00 +0200http://www.cpfs.mpg.de/en/single-ion-kondo?15347556002018-08-20T11:00:00+02:00Heusler, Weyl and Berryhttp://www.cpfs.mpg.de/en/heusler-weyl-berry
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute Chemical Physics of Solids have written a review paper about magnetic topological materials in the family of Heusler compounds. The review explains the connection between topology, symmetry and magnetism at a level suitable for undergraduate students in physics, chemistry and materials science with a basic knowledge of condensed matter physics.
